GRAND RAPIDS, MI -- The Mitten State, a local apparel company based in Comstock Park that specializes in Michigan gear, enlisted the help of Rob Bliss to shoot a video celebrating National High Five Day.

Yes, that's a real thing and yes, it is today. High five.

Bliss, who was the man behind other urban experiments in Grand Rapids like the 100,000 paper airplanes, Zombie Walk, and Chalk Flood, was also the artistic force behind the headline-making Grand Rapids Lip Dub.

Bliss parted ways with his Status Creative firm partners in 2012 but went on record to say that even though he is splitting time between Chicago and Grand Rapids, the "vast majority" of his projects would remain in Michigan. Bliss's new company, Rob Bliss Creative, is based in Michigan.

The video feature Bliss wearing a wide variety of the Michigan-themed t-shirts available from The Mitten State as he travels to over 80 locations and scenes across the state. Over 1,200 miles and over 250 hand slaps (plus one massive fist bump) later, the video launched in YouTube today.

Watch the video to see how many locations (and faces) you recognize. And don't forget to high five someone today.
